You had to specify port 0x0 ??? What is the real port that it is at?
also, what are the exact probe lines from dmesg? Mine wouldn't work
correctly unless I specified the exact port. You should also be able
to look at the EISA config on your machine BIOS (or using the floopy
that must have come along with any EISA machine), and find out what
resources are being used by each device.
